When To Use This Tool

Use bowtie2-build-l when the reference is large enough that you need Bowtie 2 large-index output (.bt2l).
It is appropriate when preparing references for bowtie2-align-l or a wrapper that resolves to the large-index path.
Use it for one or more FASTA files, or with -c when sequences are provided directly on the command line.
